An attorney for Green Bay refused Thursday to provide Assembly Republicans with private information about voters and questioned their ability to legally continue their review of the 2020 election.
Daniel Lenz, an attorney for Green Bay, questioned whether Gableman can continue his review given that his contract with the state appears to have expired at the end of December.
"It is not clear whether you currently are an appointed agent, attorney, or counsel for the Wisconsin State Assembly or otherwise a person authorized to act on behalf of the Committee," Lenz wrote.
Green Bay will not provide the Assembly with the birth dates and Social Security numbers of voters.
Gableman and @repvos have asked for "any and all information about individual voters" stored on government computers but have not said why they want that information.
Here is a copy of the letter from Green Bay's attorney to Gableman:

Gableman has put some attention on voting in nursing homes after @RacineSheriff contended members of @WI_Elections should face criminal callenges. The commissioners say they didn't commit any crimes.
BREAKING: A Waukesha County judge bars the use of absentee ballot drop boxes in Wisconsin.
Waukesha County Circuit Judge Mark Bohren ruled Thursday absentee ballot drop boxes can't be used in Wisconsin, potentially upending aspects of the spring elections and the fall's high-profile contests for governor and U.S. Senate.
Bohren determined state law allows absentee ballots to be returned in person or by mail but not in a ballot drop box.
"It's all good and nice, but there's no authority to do it," Bohren said of the use of drop boxes.
U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson is calling on Wisconsin lawmakers to take over elections and tell local officials to ignore the work of the bipartisan state Elections Commission.
.@SenRonJohnson: "I think the state Legislature has to reassert, reclaim this authority over our election system.”
"There's no mention of the governor in the Constitution. It says state legislatures, and so if I were running the joint — & I’m not — I would come out & I would just say, 'We're reclaiming our authority. Don't listen to (@WI_Elections) anymore. Their guidances are null & void.'"
